Original Post

Hi all,
I was on the lookout for a decent projector, and just placed an order for BenQ W1070 3D projector from frys.com for 779$ shipped.
Their website seems to be behaving oddly, and you may have to call them at 1-408-350-1484 to place the order via phone. Also, walmart.com was willing to do a price match, but they were charging me tax extra, so I went with frys.com.

Its cheaper has equal performance to the W1070, and has a better warranty. After deciding between this projector, and the W1080st. The Viewsonic won, it does have a short throw lens even though it is not mentioned. Im less then 10 feet away from the wall with a 100" screen. The 3-d through my samsung blue ray looks amazing so far on what I tried. The HD from my cable company is excellent too, the images are crisp and sharp.

what screen do you use with your viewsonic? i'm going to be around 10 or 12 feet away also. small room.

Ooh man its been so long since I purchased it like 6 years ago. I know its a grey wolf screen with manual pull down, its a little over 100". Let me see if I can find more info, and ill let you know. With that distance you will have no problem getting between a 100"-130" screen.

Took a staple gun to the tablecloth and the wooden rods. The screen rests on two hooks into my wall, but I can pull it down and roll it up like a scroll whenever I want.

The quality, to me, is very good. Great 139" screen for about $35 that can be rolled/unrolled with convenience. Videophiles will call blasphemy, I'm sure, but I've yet to receive a complaint from anyone.
